Sticky Cinnamon Buns- with recipe and top tips!

You can't get much more delicious than these...

And would you believe they were surprisingly easy to make!

They didn't even last a day in my household and that's a very good sign!

It had reached the point where I baked so often the fiance found it a chore to keep up with what needed to be eaten by when! Some men just have it so tough don't they! ;) 

The recipe I followed was from 'Joy of Baking' - click here to find the recipe!

Just a few things to note:

1. I found I needed a lot more flour than the recipe stated so that the original yeast dough was not sticky

2. Half-and-half cream is a bottled American product but is essentially a half cream half milk mixture. Double cream is 48% fat; Single cream is 18% fat; whole milk has just under 4% fat. Half and half cream is 12% so its best to go for 2/3 single cream with a dash of whole milk!

3. They only needed about 20 minutes cooking time: not 25-30!

4. They are done when a toothpick comes out with no dough on, just cinnamon paste if you want it gooey like these!
